SILICON TUNER IC
Product Brief
Single Chip CMOS Broadband Tuner
The MC44C800/801 Silicon Tuner ICs are highly integrated single chip
broadband tuners for cable data and set-top applications. They receive
50 MHz to 861 MHz cable signals and convert them to a second IF of 36
MHz to 46 MHz.
Typical applications include Cable Data Modems, Cable Digital and
Analog Settop boxes, VoIP Telephony boxes, etc. These tuners meet all
DOCSIS requirements for 64 and 256 QAM.

They utilize a double conversion architecture with an external first IF
SAW filter at 1120 MHz, and a second IF in the range of 36 MHz to 46
0.50 mm pitch
MHz. Both the MC44C800 and the MC44C801 are
identical, with the exception that the MC44C801 has a bus
programmable variable gain LNA with 21 dB of gain control.
The MC44C800 does not have the LNA.
